Shell application is started twice

[Anders Olsen]

Hi

We has registered a minor problem with some of our XPE based product. On 5
out of approx. 100 products our shell application is started twice, when
booting the system. We have tried replacing the application with eg.
notepad, but the problem consists.


We have localized the problem to be the registry entry:

HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Winlogon\Userinit

which contains
"c:\windows\system32\userinit.exe,c:\windows\fba\fba.exe -run". When we
removed the ",c:\windows\fba\fba.exe -run" part on the line, all works
fine.

By searching the internet I can se that other people has the same problem -
eg on the site "http://www.mcse.ms/archive230-2004-9-1065631.html".



My Question is:

Does anyone know what causes the UserInit entry in registry to get this
value. Some thing must have gone wrong running the last part of FBA
(unpacking the image on the target platform).



We using XPE SP1 at the moment and the same XPE image on all systems.



best regards

Anders,

My reseach showed that FBA will put itself into the Usetinit key if you are using NOT Explorer shell.

Seems like this behaviour has been corrected in SP2.
